2. Product Description

Vingraf 2 mg Capsule contains Tacrolimus, an immunosuppressant that works by inhibiting calcineurin, thereby suppressing T-lymphocyte activation. This reduces immune responses and prevents the body from rejecting transplanted organs. It is widely used in post-transplant care to maintain graft survival and reduce the risk of organ rejection.

Key Features and Benefits
